"Dr. Heather Picken" is in no way, shape, or form fit to be in the position that she is in. I just moved to washington and needed to see a new doctor that was relitively close to my house for my diabetes. When I attended my first visit with her, she was very rude and made me feel like I was wasting her time. I have always been one to keep up on my diabetic conditions, but Dr. Picken continued to tell me how I need to watch what I eat more and to start testing my blood sugar TWICE AS MUCH as before I was currently testing. I told her that I was pretty comfortable with how many times per day I was testing, which then she started to get aggressive with me.
I had requested a new testing meter from Dr. Picken as mine was pretty outdated, which she gave a complete nasty attitude when I politely asked her to update my perscription. Every other time that I have requested a new meter, I have just picked it up from the pharmacy which at that time I will pay my co-pay there.
Dr. Picken stated that I will need to pay for my meter and at least a 6 month supply of testing strips UP FRONT before I could leave my appointment. She told me that if I did not pay the $600 that day, she would take me to small claims court and I would be obligated to pay any legal fines.
Can I also say that the two unpleasant receptionists at the front counter where using profanities while talking amongst eachother and took 15 minutes to realize that I was standing there waiting to check in!! I would highly reccommend not going to Dr. Picken's office for any of your medical needs.
